The man withdrew $600 from her account, then told her they could pick up the car when she got off work. The woman heard no more from her boyfriend, who did not reply to her texts. She later was alerted by her bank that someone tried to make a $350 purchase with her card at a shoe store.

She said he claimed, “The cops can’t catch me.” She showed the deputy a picture of her boyfriend’s blue BMW. A check on the vehicle’s tag showed it was assigned to someone else not matching the man’s description.
